From what I hear this draft has a lot of depth in LB, OL, RB, and TE. Those all happen to be needs for the Jets so we should be able to find contributors throughout the draft. Our early picks should be used for BPA or, hopefully, trade downs to acquire more picks to fully utilize the depth in the draft.
and safety. If Jets made it a priority, they could get a safety prospect with very good chance to start (even after the first & second round).
Real iinsight. So, at 39 the best player available is a Center...that who you draft? Lay off the bromides.
Oh, and Ps. Listen closely, I am only going to say to say this once... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE. If there was, they would number them 1 to 300, and hand them out accordingly. It's a bullshit term. I'll take the Mangold example a step further Week one, Coples rolls up on Buck Frady and he's gone for the season, pats go 0-16, and the best consensus player by a large margin is a QB....yeah, that's who they'll draft. Two QBs, one that will never se the field..gettin first pick mmoney. BPA is a contextual term. There is no such thing as BPA. beauty is in the yes of the beholder. Rex always wants Corners, Belli linebackers...if they were working together what's the best player available. Go to the NFL website and check out Brandt's profiles...he gives them grades, but if one guy grades out better in this draft than another that fulfills a position of Ned, what's the variable you are all missing? Is the guy on my roster better than the guy on the board (and the fourth would be game experience) You aren't drafting a center with Mangold on the roster. Period. You think Tampon Bay would have taken a three technique because ihe was the BPA, when They were throwing Sapp out there every Sunday. Were the Phins taking a QB in the first round when Marino was THERE? It's contextual.
OL is very good in the first and second round... After that, its decent, but not great. LB is very good all the way down to the 4th or 5th round. We could potentially get a good prospect in the middle rounds. RB is extremely deep, but it doesnt have the elite talent. Aside from Gio and Lacy, I dont think anyone else is a real surefire starter. There are a ton of RBs that I see producing though (7-12). TE is really solid, could be almost be a year like 2010. Adding to that, I think WR is one of the deepest classes in a while. Similarly to RB's, no AJ Green talent, but about 7-12 players that I could see being very good players (Patterson, Patton, Wheaton, Austin, Hopkins, Allen to name a few).
So... in my opinion at #9 one between Jordan, Ansah and Vaccaro becomes a Jet. I'd be fine with all 3...
Can the Jets draft either DaMontre Moore/Dion Jordan/Bjorne Werner at #9, then Jamie Collins at round 2(or 3)?
No way should we do this. We need offensively players. If you think that we should be drafting two OLB's then you most likely only watched the first buffalo game. We have holes at qb, wr, rb, OL, TE. Before we double dip on outside linebacker I would take one those positions or safety
We currently have no starting OLBs or safteys returning from last year. Our defense needs players just as bad as our offense at this point. You claim others are not watching the games, I'm wondering if your reading the offseason cuts or the current depth chart. If you want to call out others you should at least have a clue what our team looks like first.
Draftinglinebackers with our first rounder and second rounder is a bad idea completely. The offense needs to be rebuilt completely. Rex can take less talented defensive players and make it work
I know what are team has, I am as big as a jets fan there is. I know we have plenty of holes to fill on defense but no where near as many as the offense. Do you want to continue putting up 3 points a game and putting the defense in huge holes. The team that scores the most points wins games. It will help the defense out a lot if the offense is better and scores points and can sustain drives so are d isn't on the field the entire damn game. Rex will always but a good defense on the field. I know we need to OLB and safety's. But are offense needs to come first in the rebuilding process.
How am I a moron??? Do we not need to address the offense before we decideto draft tWo OLB's?? Are offense is near the worst in the league. I guess you guys like watching the jets put up goose eggs or a messily 3-10 points like we did in most games. Rex can deal with not having two studs at OLB, hes done it the past four years. I'm not saying not to draft one in the first or second but we don't need to draft two when are offense is in such dire need of playmakers and talent. I never said we need to ignore the defense so get your things straight, I did say we need to draft a safety before we draft a second OLB.
It's an interesting idea, but maybe too much of a gamble for THIS particular team at this particular time. There are three, main possible outcomes that could unfold from this approach: 1. Both rookie OLBs are productive from the get-go, thus creating a ferocious front 7. 2. Only one of these rookie OLBs is ready to produce early on, while the other develops (or doesn't develop), which, at the very least, would provide one starter and some depth. 3. Both rookie OLBs bust and the Jets still have no pass-rush, and, consequently, other hole(s) get neglected by using two early picks on one position. I know it worked with Ellis and Abraham, but it also could've just as easily not worked, had both players not developed. With the amount of needs we have, it might be too risky to put those eggs in one basket. I think weighing the probability of these outcomes should result in the correct decision.
